Ok.. probably I should make a fresh start. But I still have one question.

AFAIK, hard resetting has reset the phone memory. So, the data inside card is sill intact. So, could it happen, that if I install the same app again which was there before, it takes the settings for the same from card?

I think it maybe the possibility, even a vague one.

Just for the record, my phone was running on stock ROM. And I hadn't even rooted the device prior to it.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] ccdreadcc:
u have any other choices? i dont think so...
[Optimus One, P500, V General] Vyom:
Thanks everyone for the replies.

So I decided to make a fresh start. Now that I have a chance to make a new start, I ensuring to take following steps so that no data loss occur from next time:

1. Syncing with google account already takes care of contacts, but extra precautions needs to be given when adding new contact. While adding new contact it should not be stored in SIM or Phone, rather the google account. Also apps have no reason to be lost since those can be reinstalled from market.

2. Using cloud apps, such as

-> Remember The Milk, which syncs tasks and notes to cloud

-> Google Plus, which syncs images with google account

-> SMS Backup+, which syncs Messages with GMail

If someone know how to backup scores of game apps, that would be highly useful! :D
[Optimus One, P500, V General] leolawliet:
Root it and install Titanium Backup, you can backup apps and app data and restore it all later on. It will save you a lot of trouble. We all make some mistakes at some point, sorry about your situation, but hey at least you can start with a clean slate now and on Android that's always great :)
[Optimus One, P500, V General] Vyom:
Thanks for the kind words.

I have just began taking my baby steps into the world of Custom Rom. But before all that I need to root the device.

I am planning to follow this guide: www <dot> addictivetips <dot> com/mobile/how-to-root-install-clockworkmod-recovery-on-lg-optimus-one/

But the comments there are really scaring me! I don't want to brick the device. But it's a chance that I HAVE to take.

Any idea what application could I use to successfully root my P500 which has the highest success rate. Following are the details about my phone:

Android version is: 2.2.2

Kernel version: 2.6.32.9

Built Number: FRG83

Software Version: V10e-MAR-28-2011.

gingerbreak....
[Optimus One, P500, V General] Vyom:
Thanks buddy. I was successful in rooting my phone with gingerbreak! And then I took a titanium and a nandroid backup.

Now proceeding with removing the crapwares and maybe installing custom ROM.

Can I upgrade to gingerbread easily?
[Optimus One, P500, V General] Joel Chan:
Yes. Flash a custom rom which uses gingerbread
[Optimus One, P500, V General] engr_exxi:
Another easy tip which requires no data or wifi connection to backup contacts..

Export to sd card.. <it saved my life really..
[Optimus One, P500, V General] Vyom:
I really think syncing contacts to Google account is the BEST way to keep it in safe place.

And after the Nandroid backup, I don't think, I can loose anything now! ;)

I apologize if this is a dumb/noob question or it was already asked.

Is there any way to modify the layout of the HTC Sense 3.5 touch keyboard? The default Bulgarian Keyboard uses the BDS layout which I am totally not used to. There was a Windows Mobile mod that added Bulgarian phonetic. I could not find such thing for the android keyboard layout. There was another keyboard in the Market, but it lacks all of the convenient features of the HTC sense 3.5 keyboard.

Hello everybody,

I started this thread because I'm having a not very important but annoying problem,I'm sure more people face this.

Case:

XWKK5 Kitchen Slimrom+Jkay 14.1

Theming with UOT-kitchen goes fine,BUT in the statusbar the H+ icon remains original.

I'm sure many devs and themers know how to fix this for me and many others!
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] beston94:
Mate that's just picky...
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] knowthenazz:
Hi,

I have the same results on my I9100, but, it works perfectly on my Nexus S.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] SPACE ALIEN:
Hi,

You're right my friend, got the same problem with my [MODS)..... How to replace easily the H+ icon please...? Good question...
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] dully79:
It's not exactly rocket science, have you looked inside the UOT kitchen file to make sure they new icons are there?
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] GJ123:
Yes I did, there are icons for normal 'H' but it doe not use these icons for H+
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] dully79:
It doesnt use "H" icons for "H+", they are called by two differnt names:

"stat_sys_data_connected_h.png"

"stat_sys_data_connected_h_plus.png"

You need to look inside and see if there are any "H+" icons inside your UOT zip, im guessing UOT doesnt have them to put in your zip so it will use the default."H+"

If they arent included you can copy the "H" icons outside and rename to include "_plus" like above then put them into your zip and flash.

But this will show a H instead of H+.

Edit: After looking at the kalagas icon set on UOT there is no H+ icons, so if the other icon sets are the same you will never replace your original H+ icons unless they update the kitchen to include them.

The workaround is to manually edit them yourself, either by following the above or using a image editor to add the "+" symbol to thew icon.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] GJ123:
Okay thank you!

I'll try to edit the icons maybe.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] jonny68:
Why the hell would anyone want to remove this icon, bizzare:eek:

I think he means "replace".:)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] _maxf_:
MTP might be better technically than USB Mass Storage, it is terrible for users. On OSX, for instance, you need to download and use the Android File Transfer utility, which might look like a Finder window, but it lacks crucial features.

The fact that you can't see your device's memory as a normal file system means that you can't sync directories, for instance. I have a collection of 15k photos which I like to keep in sync between my Mac and my phone. If I have to use Android File Transfer to retransfer all of them it's a disaster. Before my Nexus, when I used to be able to just see my device as a folder I would use rsync to copy only the files modified, which would take no time.

So the question is: is there any way to sync folders without copying files around by hand?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] wad3g:
I use AirDroid to transfer files. It's a pretty awesome app, but as for syncing folders I use DropBox.

Nothing ground breaking in this post here so I probably didn't help you out all that much.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] simplistian:
I'm trying to sync folders with Samba Filesharing via Wifi with SyncToy in PC.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] _maxf_:
Thanks for the Samba and Dropbox suggestions. I don't want to pay for Dropbox just to be able to sync files, but perhaps a Samba share would work. I'll try and report.

I did try Airsync and was impressed. Except it doesn't fulfill the syncing requirements, and it crashed my gnex the first time I tried transferring a file (had to remove the battery and all). It may not have been Airsync's fault. But it did coincide with the transfer just finishing.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jmdsdf:
I use rsync over ssh (rsync/ssh installed on the phone, sshd server on my computer, commands saved to a script in /sdcard and started with ConnectBot). Works beautifully, one single touch on the phone and all the files I want from the phone and from the computer get sent to their appropriate spot. It means I don't have to plug anything into my computer or do anything on my computer. I had to manually install the rsync/ssh binaries, as I'm running the stock ROM (rooted).

I should look into a way I can do a two way sync. i.e. I'd love to see a way where if a file is deleted on my phone after a sync, that it can be deleted on the desktop if the the file is still older than the last sync...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] wad3g:
Do you need more than 2 GB's for the folders you're syncing? The answer is obviously yes, since you said you didn't want to pay for it, but you can have a free 2 GB account with Dropbox.

I've use SugarSync on occasion, but it's as simple, I guess you could say?, as Dropbox is so I only use SS for larger files that I need sync'd.

Dropbox is one of my go-to apps. It's so easy to throw a file into one of your Dropbox folders, long press the file on your phone, and share and/or be given a link so you may send it to someone else to download/use. I also use it as a back-up to my PC's, phone, and external hard drives, you know, just in case my HD decided to die or if I need to access particular (smaller) files from anywhere.

Hope you're able to find a solution for yourself. Good luck.

"FolderSync" does it all and works well for me. I have it auto sync my pics every day to my NAS. It supports most everything.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shane86:
I recently purchased a used Galaxy tab 10.1 I/O, and it had already received the 3.1 OTA update.

Now i want root access for various reasons, and can't seem to find a clear guide on how to do so.. I've found plenty about how to do so on the original 3.0 rom, and that it will carry through the 3.1 update, or for the regular version Galaxy Tab 10.1, but it's my understanding the ROMs were fairly different between the I/O and the retail version and that attempting to cross-pollinate root methods may not be a good idea

although I've rooted and ROMed my fair share of HTC devices and Nooks i'm a little more apprehensive with this unit, as it's my first android device to lack an SD card slot of some sort, so bricking seems like a much worse possibility

follow the guide its very easy and worked fine for me
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shane86:
I Return triumphant, and gentlemen, i must say you were incorrect.

The I/O edition does not give you the option to access recovery at any point, even with the Pwr+VOL DN boot.

You can put it into download mode, and certianly use ODIN to install the recovery rom, but you will have no method to actually access recovery to push zip files.

thanks to some quick self education on using fastboot, i was able to root successfully.

To those of you in a similar situation who stumble upon this thread, i invite you to visit:

http://droidbasement.com/db-blog/?p=2439

There you can download CWM in a .img format for use with fastboot.

This link is where you can download fastboot:

http://xdaforums.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=596615&d=1305443483

and you'll need to install PDANet for Android to get the fastboot drivers:

http://junefabrics.com/android/

I belive you'll also need ADB installed from the Android SDK. i do have it installed on this computer, but did not use the ADB command at any point, just fastboot.

Instructions:

1. Download fastboot, PDANet for android, and the recovery image. You'll also need "Samsung_Galaxy_Tab_10.1_root.zip" found in Root.zip from the retail version instructions.

2. Copy the "Samsung_Galaxy_Tab_10.1_root.zip" to the tablet, and and power it off. Disconnect the USB connection

3. Unzip fastboot zip into it's own folder, and then copy your recovery.img file into the same folder.

4. Start the install of PDANet. It will ask you if you want to install drivers about half way through. say yes, and select "Samsung" when the time comes. it will install some drivers and then ask you to try and connect. windows may flare up and say they're unsigned. accept anyway.

5. watch this friendly video on how to start fastboot on your tablet:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sR7vE4IueaU

"fastboot!"

Basically the same as the steps outlined for the retail version, but you will go to the usb icon instead of the box.

6. once the tablet is in fastboot, connect the USB cable. PDA net will recognize it as an ADB connection and try and load itself. it will fail, that's fine. Let the installer exit completely.

7. Open a command line in windows, and get it to the directory fastboot.exe and your recovery image are in.

8. run your fastboot command. i only used it temporarlily, so my command was:

"fastboot boot recovery-cwm_5.0.2.7-sam-tab-10.1.img"

9. the tablet should now boot into the recovery image presented. hooray! follow the remaining instructions from the retail version root, using recovery to load the "Samsung_Galaxy_Tab_10.1_root.zip" and reboot.

10. Once you've done all that, select to reboot. The tablet will reboot. i took the opportunity to disconnect the cable.

11. "Superuser" should now be in your apps, and you're rooted!

Extra Step: Download "Rom Manager" by clockwork from the android market, and install it. from here, opt to flash recovery. Once that's complete, you can now access recovery by launching that program and simply hitting "Reboot into Recovery"

I have no use for this myself but it's not often someone comes back and posts a complete howto on solving their own initial issue. I wish more people would do this. Thanks button clicked.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] swgbex:
I just ran into this exact problem and only found this thread after figuring it out on my own. I figured my IO tab just didn't like having clockwork mod installed, but it certainly booted it. I nearly ruined it by accidentally wiping my rom trying to get it to boot at all. I had to repush my install files to the insternal memory using adb after I was able to boot into recovery with fastboot.

I haven't looked around too much (seeing as I only JUST got the damn thing to boot a rom) but is there a fix to that, perhaps installing the retail bootloader?

I'd hate to have to use fastboot everytime my rom doesn't boot. I've gotten used to wiping and installing roms from wherever I am on my other android devices.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shane86:
I'm not familiar enough with the device to be able to give you a definite answer, but i imagine adding a bootloader from the retail version would give you the recovery option instead of fastboot.

personally, i'm a little more fond of having fastboot around right now, as it's easy enough to get into recovery when flashing things with it, and the bootloader for the I/O is unlocked... i can think of a few fun things to do in the future if i can load any ROM i want into memory, test it, and move on if it's no good... i may even give some of the ICS dailies a try thanks to this.

[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shane86:
RootzFan,

that method is flashing an entirely new rom, down to 3.0, just to gain root access and open recovery so you can then return to 3.1.. it has the added byproduct of installing touchwiz.

IMHO, my way is a little cleaner as there is actually zero flashing needed, and you get to keep everything active and installed.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] animatechnica:
i recommend just going for custom roms - it comes already rooted - yBoot into recovery and flash a custom ROM

If I buy an att vivid, will I be able to access these frequencies? My current phone is the att inspire.

There is a leaked pic of an Australian vivid on my carrier... Can anyone tell if its the same model as att one??

I don't wanna buy the wrong model....

[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] mug318ca:
You will get the 3g speed but not LTE. AT&T LTE is 700MHz and the Vivid radio only supports the 700Mhz frequency.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] psupernak:
Really? What are the numbers shown in these specs?

My carrier is telstra in Australia.

This link explains our lte structure. http://m.zdnet.com.au/telstra-s-4g-lte-goes-public-339323055.htm

Can someone confirm to me that when they speak of lte for usb dongles, it also applies to mobile phones?

I ask because telstra has just released 4g lte for usb wireless but we dont have any lte phones available yet...

Which is why I wanna get one from america.....
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Aus_Azn:
Don't bother getting one from here; looks like Telstra uses a very unique LTE band. 1800 means 1800, not 1700, so the Bell Raider won't work. Just wait for it when it comes out. The leaked ROM notes that it's to be called the "Velocity 4G", so keep an eye out for it instead of trying to fish on the international market.

LTE for USB dongles is using the same LTE as the mobile phones. It's on its way. It was like that on Verizon too, with the dongles first, then the rollout of phones.

@Pirate: Has HTC released an unbranded Raider? I didn't even know that existed already.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Pirateghost:
i was under the impression that there would be some Holidays running around in the eastern hemisphere ;)
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] psupernak:
There doesn't seem to be any concrete specs on the holiday. All I know is the leaked telstra pic shows a HTC holiday... I'm wondering if its a unique one or a vivid with different radio band....
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Pirateghost:
not sure, but i do know that it runs sense 3.5 instead of sense 3.0 like on the vivid. LOL
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] psupernak:
It sounded like you knew a bit more about the holiday when you recommended it...
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] sanroy24:
I think Htc is manufacturing a Vivid/holiday specifically for Aussie networks, 1800 mhz..dont be tempted into buyin one from overseas, all u'll get is edge or 3g the most as none are compatible on Telstra Lte network..
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Aus_Azn:
Or you could switch to what I use when I'm back home, get on Optus and import the Vivid. They'll be using 700MHz, or so I hear.

the AT&T captivate was the only galaxy s model to have the audience noise cancellation feature....

they would contact HTC, say, make an LTE phone for our 1800mhz spectrum, and then it would be a matter of radio+firmware...not a hard thing for the handset manufacturer to do.
